...addition to forbidding a political introduction, Pusey also insisted that there be no discussion of Seeger's case during the evening; but Roger M. Leed '61, chairman of the Student Council Forum Committee sponsoring the concert, asserted that this restriction will not hinder the concert's success...
Phillips and former Council member Roger Leed last week called Monro's attitude "highly unethical for a member of the Administration," and said that College officials should maintain complete silence on the issue of Council reorganization. They blamed Monro for putting the evil idea of realignment along the lines of an inter-House council into the head of Dunster's William Bailey...
